Pacquiao's daughter no longer wants him to fight


The victories of their father -- boxing champ and Senator Manny Pacquiao -- in every match may have made his homecoming thrilling, but his every departure to step in the ring anew and face another opponent also had his children worrying.

Pacquiao's 10-year-old daughter Queenie was torn about her father returning to the ring.

On whether she would want Pacquiao to once again face American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., Queenie said she gets sad when he gets hurt fighting.

"I don't want him to fight because you get hurt and it's sad," she told GMA News' Mav Gonzales in an interview in "24 Oras" on Friday.

However, the family will continue to support whatever the fighter chooses, the report said.

Pacquiao's four children were not able to go to Las Vegas to watch the match live, so they instead watched from their home in Makati City.

The second eldest son Michael said it was fun and still intense.

"It was still fun. It was intense still. Even though we didn't get to go, which was sad, I understand because there was school. But we still had fun," Michael

He also revealed that it was Princess that got the most nervous.

However, Princess also got very excited at times and would have bouts of shouting.

"Parang yung sigaw 'Oy! Oy!'," she said.

"I was really happy. I was jumping everywhere. I was like 'yeah!'," she added.

The champion came home to a banner reading "Congratulations" and "Welcome home," while Jinkee was greeted with a bouquet of flower.
